Mine was faded.....I bought one from a guy that painted WS6 & a bird on it and then a few coats of clear over it so it won't fade again. The panel looks great.

I just bought some vinyl overlays from ebay. They worked just fine and were like $10 bucks shipped.
Actually come to think of it I have a spare Trans Am sticker that I didnt use. The place I bought from sent me 2 of each in case you mess up when applying the sticker. Lucky for me I got it on the first try. You can have the other Trans Am sticker if you want. I can take a pic of what it looks like if you want.

I just took brake clean, wiped the faded part off, then polished the panel slightly so it's kind of ghosted there.

Vinyl overlay. I got a red one from WS6store. Not a perfect fit but since my was completely faded it doesn't matter.
